Be My Valentine - From Christie’s

February 2011


If everlasting love could be materialized, the ultimate symbol would have to be flawless heart shaped diamonds.

Cutting a perfectly symmetrical heart, whilst getting absolute brilliance and retaining maximum weight is a skill reserved only for the most exceptional cutters.

Polished diamonds in excess of 50 carats are extremely rare and finding the perfect heart over that important number is truly special. Less than a handful have appeared at auction in the last 20 years.

Christie’s Geneva Magnificent Jewels will present this spring a magnificent and perfect 56.15 carat heart shaped D colour, Internally Flawless diamond with excellent polish and symmetry.

In addition this sensational gem belongs to the elite Type IIA category of diamonds making it whiter than white and the ultimate acquisition for a true connoisseur.

Estimated at SFr. / US$ 9,000,000-12,000,000, it will be offered on May 18 in Geneva.
